Premier League 20/21

[Captain Obvious]

Sheffield United officially relegated tonight with six games to spare. They finished 9th last season.

Norwich promoted back to the Premier league.

City didn't want to win that today, if City play Chelsea in CL final I'd fancy City, the league game between these two I fancy Chelsea.

Yeah they probably wanted to avoid either Leicester or Southampton in the final!

That's ridiculous.

Does anyone think City put out their best team?

Not sure if you understand how it works when you're fighting for trophies on multiple strands.

You rest your best players as best you can for the trophies you prioritise but you definitely don't go out not to win a game at that level. Weird thinking.

So I'll ask the question again, it's very simple, did City play their best team?

They have won the league, PP gave paid out months ago. So they are playing a final (LC) against Spurs, been known for ages. They have managed to get to semifinal of CL, one good performance will win it, they have the toughest semi. The FA cup against a team they should beat and they make 6/7 changes.

Utd won the treble by playing their best team that was available for every game in the latter stages. But sure Pep knows what he's doing

But you said they didn't want to win.

First team to really boss City this year from what I've seen. Chelsea could certainly push on in the league and grab 4th

Did you watch United make wee boys of City a few weeks back?

[Milltown Row2]

But you said they didn't want to win.

I did, if they wanted to win they'd put out their best team.

Lol. Moronic comment.
Sure to hell with every other player outside their "supposed" first 11.
City should play the whole season and take part in 4 competitions with 11 players, that's more than enough.

Chelsea could actually win the Champions League.....good job Sid is banned at the moment he would be blowing a gasket.

The league is won, so your comment about the 'whole' season is daft , rest players or change your squad for the reaming league games, but the cup competitions at the latter stages you play your best team. He didn't, his gamble didn't pay off and they lost.

Spurs will be hoping they play the same team next week. I've a mate who's a life long City supporter, grew up in view of Main rd. he's raging Pep don't put out his best team.

Sometimes your best team is your freshest team!

If the freshest team don't play the right system then it gives the other team a chance, Chelsea are chasing 4th, FA cup and CL.  They played their best team, and won the game.

In fairness to Pep, his 'second' would beat must teams

Personally I'm happy they lost, that's one less trophy my mate won't be bragging about.

Sterling, and Torres were invisible, I didn't even realise Sterling was on.
